The NT1 Signature Series is Rode's updated take on its long-running large-diaphragm cardioid condenser. It keeps the very low self-noise and high SPL handling that made the NT1 a studio staple, and adds a shockmount, pop filter and XLR cable in the box. It is an XLR-only analog mic, so it needs an audio interface or mixer with phantom power. Against pricier large-diaphragm condensers it gives up little on noise and build, and it suits home and project studios recording vocals, acoustic instruments and loud sources.
